He stated on the subject: This is a truly exciting project for me because it is the first time I have worked on a fragrance. It is important to capture the woman, the essence, the personality of B. Balenciaga. Faced with the success of this fragrance, and barely two years after its release, he decided to create a flanker with a more intense scent, this time named B. Balenciaga Intense.
The new flavor of the Balenciaga woman
B. Balenciaga Intense is not the first reinterpretation of B. Balenciaga. Indeed, the first version of this fragrance was released in 2014, and was built around a green and woody accord based on soy, lily of the valley, iris, ambrette, violet leaf and cedar. Then, a year later, its bright and aromatic character was reinterpreted in softer, smoother floral tones. This was B. Balenciaga Peau. So, faced with so much softness, the house of Balenciaga decided to go to the opposite extreme of this first variation. This time, the B. Balenciaga Intense woman reveals herself at her most vibrant. Its fragrance plays particularly on contrasts, which only reinforces its mysterious and attractive character. The B. Balenciaga Intense woman seems to have more than one trick up her sleeve and possesses multiple personalities in one. It is a bit as though she were a kind of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, capable of arousing a feeling that is just as comforting and appealing as it is bewitching and enigmatic.
The woody vibrations of B. Balenciaga Intense
B. Balenciaga Intense is a juice with a strong temperament. It opens with fruity and green top notes. It also contains green tea paired with blueberry. Its tart, juicy character then gives way to a bewitching heart. B. Balenciaga Intense is built around queen of the night, a rare flower from a cactus that blooms at night in summer. It is known for its incredibly enveloping and intense scent. In some respects, its flavor comes close to that of jasmine, at times almost excessively so. It is at this point that the unrivaled radiance of this plant gives way to a darker base. B. Balenciaga Intense ends with woodier tones of cedar and mahogany. Finally, in terms of aesthetics, B. Balenciaga Intense has kept the shape of its predecessors. However, it is adorned with a new, particularly bewitching pink gradient. The whole is topped with a very elegant hollowed-out cap, while the composition is also accented by a very modern chrome metal structure. A true sculpture of perfumery, B. Balenciaga Intense is a genuine faceted work of art in which no detail has been left to chance.
